Abstract
The systematic assessment of signs and symptoms of psychopathology has roots that date back to rating scale development that began in the 1950s. This article reviews some of those rating scales. The focus is on the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale, which is the most important precursor of the Positive and Negative Symptom Rating Scale.Keywords: 7-point Likert scale; BPRS; PANSS; The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale; factor analysis of data; psychometrics; schizophrenia; symptom assessment; the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale
